Partly Sunny Sunday

Mornin'!  It's 74° in Wildwood NJ.  Soggy Wildwood NJ that is.  We had a nice dumping of rain throughout the night; with good thunder and lightning storms.  Hubby and I spent most of the day yesterday trimming back the gardens and trees and the moment you step out onto the back porch this morning, the aroma of our freshly cut tree branches hits the senses as it mixes with that salty briny sea air.  So all that trimmed and pruned shrubbery (including my nicely saturated Jasmine and Lavender plants) give off, even more, Sunday fragrant loveliness.  Inside...the grits and sausage are on!
How about today's weather? It's currently soggy and cloudy.  Ms Sun just broke through but for only a couple minutes.  She'll be doing that all throughout the day.  It's gray and humid and thick out there.  Humidity's 96% and the Dewpoint is 74°.  No breezes to note.  Expect a mix of clouds and sun today as temps stay lower than as of late barely tapping 80° and breezes out of the N-NE at 15-20mph w/gusting (you'll definitely need to bungee the ol' umbrella today if heading to the beach and keep an eye on the doppler).  The humidity's going to drop too (82%).  There is a 30-40% chance of rain and/or thunderstorms this afternoon.  Tonight...partly cloudy with temps just about where they are now (lower 70s) with NE breezes at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow...almost a perfect repeat of today!
High tide:3:34p.m.
Low tide:9:01a.m.
Ocean temp:77°
Sunset:7:51p.m.
UV Index:8 (high)
Rip Currents: Moderate (take "moderate" seriously as it implies that anyone in the ocean should swim in front of the lifeguards.  Never swim alone or at night as the current can have its way with you when it's pulling tightly around you.)
